CANTON, OHIO THURSDAY NOVEMBER H. 1887

received June 1 last, from the
several counties, since which date
fifty municipalities have adopted
and enforced the local option
feature of the law. The effect of the
law is shown in the following: Saloons
before the Dow law went into effect,
1869; saloons at date of this report,
1851; saloons closed by taxation, 1871;
saloons closed by local prohibition, 521;
total saloons closed, 2,O92.
The number of saloons caused by
taxation prior to June, 1887, was 1,O50
more than those closed by local option
prohibition. The latter was adopted in
1873 towns prior to June 1st. These in
clude towns in nearly every county in
the State, and it is probable that since
then the number has been increased to
at least 200.

eral of the late John E. Norton, form
erly of the Press of this city and later

DIR. PARKER's CREED.
Not Devotee of Polysyliabic R,
lRion.

MOI OeVoLeo OF HolYBYl1abtc Re-
hgion.
CHICAGo, Nov. 15.-The Rev. DR..
Joseph Parker, of the City Temple, Lon
don, was present at the regular Monday
meeting of Congregational ministers,
and the attendance was much larger
than usual in anticipation of the dis
tinguished orators coming. DIR. Par
ker was introduced to the meeting as an
"Epistle known and read of all men,"
"If | am an epistle, said DR.. Parker,
"known and read of all men, as my
BROTHER has so generously imagined,
then there can be no wrong in assum-
ing that the most of you are fully aware
that came to this country to deliver
a eulogy on my sainted and crowned
friend, Henry Ward Beecher. have
lived with Mr.. Beecher week after week,
day and night, and have travelled with
him from city to city, and have seen
hun under all varieties and circumstan-
ces, and my only wish is that l might be
able, according to the measure of my
capacity, to initiate the excellencies
that shOne so radiantly in his character.
Assuming that all this was known to
you, l attach the greater significance to
the invitation with which you have
honored me-" The speaker paused, and
his audience responded with hearty ap-
plause. {,
Having remarked upon evangelical
preaching as more likely than any other
to touch every point of human life, DR..
Parker suggested that it might be we'll
to hold a conference in Chicago, and that
the conference should be conducted
upon the freest possible lines, and that
discussion from every point of view
should be encouraged. He said:
"If, in evangelical preaching we are
wrong, by all means let us know it. II
any man has larger wisdom or truel
method of meeting the necessities OF
the age, ], for one, am quite prepared
to extinguish my little lamp and to let
in his fuller sunshine. All we should
aim at, is to be right and be doing the
largest amount of good. This is the
spirit in which | wish to work.
During my intermission of pastoral
labor have had occasion to hear min.
listers Of various churches, and my test.
imony is that when / enter church
where they do not pray, but simply 'as.
pire;' where they have no doctrine, only
theory; where they displace historical
Christianity by the unconditional in.
linite,' and by some reference to the
'circumambient invisible and where
all the words are polysylables, l find a
sad lack of active charity as embodied
in Sunday schools, Dorcas societies
sick visiting societies and earnest phil.
anthropic work among the poor and
the outcast; but where / find that the
cross of Christ is first, midst and last, !
find the, people stirred with holy am
bition to make the world better than
they found it. Amy religion that will
do that is the religion by which am
prepared to live, and in the hope of
which would dare to die"

BL1NKY's CAGE.
Preparing for Him at Columhus--Win
Etanyard HanEP

Preparing for Him at Columbus---Wil
Stanyard HangP
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 15.-The cage in
the annex which has been in progress
of construction since il has been known
that Blinky Morgan, the Ravenna muir
durer, would come to the State prison,
will be completed today and be in readi-
ness for its distinguished visitor. His
bunk will be in the corner of the cage,
in full sight of the guard, and it wilisbe
impossible for him to seclude himself
from the guards view. An electric
bell has been placed in the annex, which
will be used to give an alarm in case of
emergency. A time clock has also
been purchased and will act as sort of
monitor over the guard, who will report
every half hour. With these precau-
tionary measures it is thonght Blinky
will not run off with the institution or
any Of his "pals" run off with him.
Eben Stanyard, the doomed man, has
watched the construction of this cage
with the greatest interest and seems to
be more pleased than the warden or
other officials ever the prospect of hav-
ing Blinkey Gagged up in this style. He
showed a reporter how everything
would be when Blinkey arrived and
seemed to take great interest in his ex-
PLANTATION. Perhaps it is well that his
mind has been occupied, for he is
still in suspense as to whether or
not he will be hanged next Friday, and
he anxiously inquired for any YOungs-
town news relative to his new trial.
He received a letter from his friends
yesterday, but they were unable to give
any definite information, as the judges
had not rendered their decision. 1t will
probably be known today whether a
new trial will be granted, and if it is
not he will have but three short days
more in his present quarters.

BLINKY'S NEW TRIAL.
The Motion Asking For It to be
Heard Saturday.
The Noted Criminal Brought Into Court
This Neutrality-suspicious. in
the Coughlin Trial
Being Heard.

RAvENNA, o., Nov. 17.-tSpecial !
The Court desiring positive time
fixed for the hearing of a motion for a
new trial in the case of Ohio VS.. Charles
Morgan, the defendant was brought
into court at $3.50 this morning. Blinkey
looked as bold and defiant as ever, en-
tered the court room with shoulders
thrown back and with measured
tread, took his accustomed seat
to the left of his counsel, shaking
hands with them, he at once entered
into a brisk conversation. The defense
plead for more time, while the State de-
sired the motion heard as soon as pos
sible. After considerable discussion
pro and con, Saturday at a. m. was
the time fixed for hearing the motion.
Blinky was now returned to jail and
Coughlin brought in. John Kinney
was the first man put on the stand and
testified to the trunks being put
on board the train at Bedford, but
did not recognize Coughlin as one of
those men. Constantine Isenhardt,
photographer from Detroit, testified as
to the genuineness of the photograph
of McMunn being used here in testi-
mony.
J.E. Denton, under-sheriff at Alpe-
ma under the late Sheriff Lynch, testi-
fed as to finding revolver, cartridges
in every pocket to Gt it, dynamite and
a bottle Of gunpowder in his pocket.
The rehearsal of the acts in the aw-
full tragedy Of February 4th, in the
murder of Detective Hulligan, was
commenced Wednesday morning. AS
number of new names appear on the
witness list, it is expected that some in
teresting developments will occur re-
garding Coughlin's connection with this
affair.
AS was reported in yesterdays spec.
ial, S. III. Benedict, of the firm of Bene-
dict & Ruedy, was the first witness call
ed to the stand; but before the witness
was examined, the question of the adj
INSTABILITY of the fur robbery testi,
mony came up, and both sides were
fully prepared for argument on that
point. The defense claimed that they
were not trying the defendant for the
burglary of the furs and, that such tes,
timony was not competent, as it had
nothing to do with Coughlin's guilt OIL
innocence of the murder as charged
The prosecution claimed that the testi-
mony showing the defendants connec-
tion with the stolen furs was certainly
competent and that they had right tc
show that there had been burglary
committed and Coughlin's connection
with McMunn, the prisoner. 1t was q
circumstance showing a motive and
that the murder was upon the very
heels of the robbery. The arguments
occupied all of the forenoon session.
The following persons comprise the
jury which will try John Coughlir

TWELVE MEN FOUND
To Act as Jurors in Coughlin's
Trial at Ravenna.
A Special venire of Forty-two Portage
County Citisens Exhausted-Pre-
pairing for Blinkey Morgan
at Columbus.

RAvENNA, o., Nov. 15.HSpecial.] l.
Upon adjournment of Court at o'clock
last evening the first special venire of
forty-two men drawn had been exhaust
ed. Eleven men sat in the jury box.
The defense had exercised four peremp-
tory challenges and the State none.
When court convened this morning the
special venire orders issued by Judge
johnson last evening were on hand.
Contrary to all expectations, the pro-
gress made since the trial began has
been much faster than was anticipated.
When Court adjourned at noon the de-
Tense had made use of eleven peremp-
tory challenges, the State none, and the
box was full. A jury will be obtained
this afternoon.
1t was thought that after week of
rest all of the counsel would certainly
be on time, but John Mes We 3ney and
Judge HuJchinS were not present this
morning, and they will not be here I'M
til a Jury is secured. Sam Eddy, with
his usual hardness, did not appear un-
til last evening. COughlin appeared in
the Court Room in the Charge of
the same guards that took care of
Morgan. He took his seat at the
east end of the table occupied by the
counsel for the defense, and
was shielded from the gaze of
the court and the reporters by
the broad shoulders of Hon. X.
&. johnson, to whom he seems to cling
Asthough he were his father. Prosecutor
Maxson and j. III. Nichols conducted the
examinations of the jurors. After this
tedious work is finished, the trial will
be hurried along. BAN.

the hearing of witnesses will be the
next thing in order.
RAvENNA, o., Nov. 16.-[Special. +
At 10:15 this morning, a large crew of
of witnesses arrived from Cleveland.
Judge HutchinS occupied his usual
seat in the court room with the other
legal luminaries, and the taking of
the evidence began. Hon. John Nc
Sweeney has not yet arrived.
The first witness placed on the stand
was ). III. Benedict, of Cleveland. But
couple of questions had been prOpound-
ed befort the defense began their OBJ
iections and exceptions, and it is
clearly visible that much harder fight
will be made in the present case than
in the Morgan trial. The introduction
of evidence in regard to stealing furs
from the store of Benedict d Ruedy,
was strongly objected to by the defense,
Counsel on both sides argued the ques-
ton at great length; upon adjournment
at noon the question had not been pass
cd upon by the court.
The motion for a new trial in the
case of "Blinkey" Morgan, convicted of
murder in the first degree, will be- heard
Thursday.

A. Sharpened Case Knife Found In Ebene-
Ger Stsnyard's Possession.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 17.-The discov-
cry was made by the Penitentiary Off
cials that Ebenezer Stanyard had plan
ned to cheat the gallows, had the
Supreme Court not rendered such a
course unnecessary by granting new
trial. He informed the guard that he
contemplated suicide in case of an un-
favorable decision from the court, and
that he was in possession of knife
with which to commit the deed.
The captain of the night guard was
notified, and upon searching the pris-
oner an iron table knife, both edges of
which had been ground down on a
stone until terminating in a sharp
point was found under his clothing
suspended, from his neck. The blade
was wrapped in apiece of cloth and
hung point downward. Today a
wooden key unlocking the door leading
from the reception to the execution
room was found in his apartments.
Stanyard said it was his intention to
commit suicide tonight before the hour
for his execution arrived, and he could
have easily carried out his design with
the keen-edged knife. The papers
authorizing the return of Stanyard to
Youngstown arrived this morning, and
Guard Russell was deputized to deliver
the prisoner to the Sheriff of Mahoning
